Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 1 cup Lettuce
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 medium Avocado
- 8 slices Sliced bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Step 2
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until well combined. Remove from heat.
Step 3
While the beef cooks, prepare the toppings: shred the lettuce, dice the tomato, and thinly slice the avocado.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and hot sauce to create the zesty taco sauce. Set aside.
Step 5
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place four slices, butter side down, on a clean surface.
Step 6
On each bread slice, layer 1/4 cup of the seasoned ground beef, a sprinkle of Monterey Jack cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of the sour cream hot sauce. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for added flavor.
Step 7
Top each sandwich with another slice of bread, butter side up.
Step 8
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill each sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted.
Step 9
Remove from the skillet and let the sandwiches rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
